A junior welterweight affair scheduled for four opened the night as the 1-1 Jason Castanon battled the 0-2 Stephen Barbee. Both fighters moved to control the range

By: Sean Crose The first fight was long awaited. After much anticipation, fans were finally able to find out who was truly the king of the light heavyweight division – hard hitting Artur Beterbiev or chess master Dmitry Bivol. The winner would not only remain undefeated, he would exit the ring as the undisputed light

By: Sean Crose At 34 years of age, Callum Smith had something to prove on Saturday when he stepped into the ring in Saudi Arabia to face the undefeated 19-0 Joshua Batista. Although clearly respected in the fight game, the 30-2 former titlist was set on proving he was still at the higher end of

By: Sean Crose The interim WBC heavyweight title was on the line Saturday in Saudi Arabia as the 27-2-1 Zhilei Zhang took on the undefeated 25-0 Agit Kabayel.

By: Sean Crose WBC middleweight champion Carlos Adames, 24-1, defended his title belt on Saturday against the 21-0 Hamzah Sheeraz in Saudi Arabia. The fight was scheduled for 12 championship rounds. The first was something of a feeling out process for each fighter, as both men were strategically patient. The taller Sheeraz was able to

By: Sean Crose WBC lightweight champion Shakur Stevenson took on the widely unknown Josh Padley Saturday in Saudi Arabia. Stevenson was supposed to have fought Floyd Schofield before Schofield had to drop out of the bout due to an illness. The 15-0 Padley subsequently took the fight on beyond short notice. The question, of course,

By: Sean Crose The 35-3 Joseph Parker wasn’t only a former heavyweight champion. He was a man whose career was on the upswing after having gone through a rough patch. And on Saturday, Parker showed just how game he was when he got into the ring to face the towering, 300+ pound, undefeated, 21-1 Martin

By: Sean Crose And then there was one. After presenting an absolutely terrific card on Saturday, Saudi sports honcho Turki Al-Sheikh gave fans a main event between two future Hall of Famers who were playing back their first razor sharp twelve round affair the previous year. After winning their first throwdown back in October, Artur

By: Sean Crose It was perhaps the most hoped for fight in boxing, a superstar event between two towering Brits for the undisputed heavyweight championship of the world. Unfortunately, it didn’t happen. Or at least it hasn’t happened yet. For Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua no longer occupy the zenith of the heavyweight mountain. Both

By: Sean Crose IIt all seemed to have gone beyond pre fight hype. Light heavyweight power houses David Benavidez, 29-0, and David Morrell, 11-0, truly seemed to not like each other. Perhaps it was a simple clash of personalities. Or maybe their scheduled Saturday night pay per view main event had too much on the

By: Sean Crose Things seem to be changing for the better. Not all that long ago, well regarded fighters who suffered a single defeat were taken to the online woodshed where they would be charged with being hype jobs who had been “exposed’ by their victorious opponents. That no longer seems to be the case.

By: Sean Crose It was fun while it lasted. The Ring Magazine reported on Wednesday that the agreed to fight between Canelo Alvarez and Terence Crawford is off. This just days after it was reported across the internet that the fight had become a reality. The lesson, once again, is that boxing is a sport
